Hybrid View

I want to make a walk-thru mirror for my haunt this year. My idea is to take clear strip door material (fear flaps) and add mirrored mylar to the back of it essentially creating a flexible mirror that people can walk through. Not sure how I'm going to adhere the mylar to the flaps. I thought about spray glue, but I'll have to test it out. Anyone know why this won't work, or have a better idea? I thought I'd toss it out here before I set to experimenting.

I would make a flar door and put mylar on it as opposed to the flaps though I think it would look better. a simple plywood door with a frame around it and mylar heated and stretched over the plywood so when its closed you only see a mirror, no flaps to give it away.

I would do the plywood door and just put a plexi-glass mirror on it, but I want try to create the feeling of actually passing through the mirror. Into that strange mirror world that we all know is on the other side of every mirror. lol Even with flaps that illusion would be a stretch. A few years ago I used white strip door pieces placed side by sided as a movie screen to create the illusion that the customers were passing into the film as they went through it. I was just trying to do the same thing as a mirror.

I would just use plywood. Put that shiny reflective tape on the entire door. Cut it in a jagged pattern down the middle so when it is pushed open it looks like it broke in half or was shattered. The fear flaps would work but a mirror doesnt break that way. Unless your just talking about passing through a mirror? Anyway I like the idea of passing through a mirror and it breaking much more dramatic. You could put one of those screamer boxes or whatever they call them and record breaking glass on it.
